"No, then it's like some male fantasy. Meet a French girl on the train, f**k her, and never see her again." - Julie Delpy, 'Before Sunrise'
Greetings from the apocalypse! This here is my twentieth weekend column, which seemed like as good a time as any to reach out to my fellow weekend road warriors to say if you have any suggestions for upcoming films/local weekend events to feature in future editions just write me on Twitter. Signed 8 x 10 glossies will be sent to fans at my secretary's discretion. But seriously, write away — give this wandering rōnin of the desert some feedback, yo.

I'm admittedly not a huge fan of the "Hangover" franchise — only in America and possibly France could such a thing spawn a franchise — so when I tell you "The Hangover Part III" has nary a laugh or even »

14 May 2013 4:07 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The savage Sundance-winning short Whiplash, about a young drummer facing down a brutally antagonizing music instructor, is about to become a feature film.
Writer and director Damien Chazelle adapted the 18-minute short from several scenes in the full-length script with the hope that it would attract investors for the complete version.
Now Bold Films, the production company behind Drive and the upcoming Only God Forgives, has stepped forward to fill out the undisclosed budget. The company will make Whiplash as a joint production with Right of Way Films and Blumhouse Productions, who teamed up to create the short.

The 20 Most Phallic Movie Images Ever
1 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Penis imagery: Like love, it's all around us.
Really, though, in movies, it's everywhere. And most likely, depending on the director, it's completely intentional. Yes, most of the directors you casually enjoy are actually perverted creep shows. Like Bruce Hornsby once so eloquently put it, that's just the way it is, folks. You had to learn sometime.
Don't believe us? Here are 20 not-so-subtle examples of phallic movie stills that will have you saying to yourself, "Wow, I didn't realize that Jean-Claude Van Damme with a Jheri curl could get any creepier."

2001: A Space Odyssey a dark visual essay on the failings of mankind
28 April 2013 8:04 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
When it comes to film interpretation and finding madness in the method, it’s only a matter of time before an overly philosophical troll decides to take an almighty stab at the man whose portfolio is stuffed with the mystery, symbolism and deeper meaning usually reserved for Michele de Nostradame and biblical verse. But while Stanley Kubrick’s horror masterpiece The Shining provided the inspiration for a film which provided the inspiration for an idea that provided the inspiration for a decidedly strange column, it is his most influential – and maddeningly metaphorical – motion picture that this week take’s it place under the warped microscope.
Since its release in 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey has provided the creative spark for countless filmmakers and induced ever more debates trying to discern what exactly it all means. For this viewer and scribe, its point can be found in its incomprehensibility, a purpose within anarchic nonsense. »

Stanley Kubrick: Ranking His Films From Worst To Best
25 April 2013 2:34 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Many great filmmakers have a type of film to which they might generally stick and are wonderful at making pictures in those particular genres. Martin Scorsese has gangster/crime films, Billy Wilder did comedies, as does Woody Allen and then we have Stanley Kubrick, one of the most eclectic filmmakers of all time who has done crime, comedy, drama, war, sex, sci-fi, epic, historic and heist, to name a few. Kubrick is one of, if not the most fastidious filmmaker in history, with his cast and crew often attesting to his attention to the tiniest detail, often to their own annoyance but to his astounding success. He was a control freak and this would typically be a bad thing but in my own opinion, he never made a bad film.
Kubrick started out with short films and the occasional documentary, which have not appeared on this list for I have »

5 Surprising Personal Passion Projects of Legendary Directors
20 April 2013 11:08 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
There’s something inherently lonely and tortured about being a director. Yes, you’re the tyrant of the set and dictator of the vision, but you’re also the man (or woman) behind the curtain, the puppet master who never appears on stage….unless you’re Clint Eastwood or Quentin Tarantino. Or Alfred Hitchcock….or Roman Polanski…Anyway, the point is that you may be the genius behind a film, and celebrated as such, but you’re no superstar. There’s a reason why they are often referred to as voyeurs.
But the upside is that, once you’re an established money-maker, you can afford to be creative in your guises. That is, to put your dream on screen. Most directors have at some stage championed their baby, a cherished passion project which is their love letter to their craft. However, it’s quite galling how this endeavor often falls on deaf ears. »

This week's new films
19 April 2013 10:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Rebellion | Promised Land | Evil Dead | Olympus Has Fallen | Love Is All You Need | Me And You | F*ck For Forest | Bait | The Words
Rebellion (15)
(Mathieu Kassovitz, 2011, Fra) Mathieu Kassovitz, Iabe Lapacas, Malik Zidi. 135 mins
Working with a real-life 1980s incident in New Caledonia (not dissimilar to a French Falklands), Kassovitz crafts a thoughtful thriller with no heroes, only good intentions compromised by colonialist mistrust and distant politics. His negotiator is set between a hair-triggered French military and separatist rebels, but with an election back home, not everyone wants a peaceful outcome.
Promised Land (15)
(Gus Van Sant, 2012, Us/UAE) Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand. 107 mins
With fracking as the central concern, this finds it hard to avoid being an "issue movie", but there's some human drama to it. Damon's gas agent comes to an archetypal small town with a buyout in mind, but the locals and their country ways get to him. »

What about Bob? Has the Age of Almost Great Villains Passed?
15 April 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Ah, Bob. He left us too soon. Not Bill Murray’s Bob Wiley of What about Bob fame but Bob of Batman (1989). Or as the Joker put it: “my number one … guy!” Poor Bob. The world is worse off due to his absence. He’s someone none us should have forgotten but have. He’s got his hits on Youtube but no plans to resurrect him even though he’s leagues ahead of Darkseid, who isn’t even on the radar of most moviegoer.
Originally, I admit this article had been geared to giving the so-called second stringers their due. But that is a bit distortive of the actual record because not all second stringers get forgotten. Just ask old Henry Kissinger. Or need one be reminded of Boba Fett’s massive cult? Nevertheless, too many both second-order and first-order baddies get left behind. Mr. Glass did a good job »

How Roger Ebert Influenced This Writer’s Life
10 April 2013 9:12 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Let us all give a solemn but heartfelt two-thumbs up for one of the greatest and most influential careers in critical film thinking. (But please be careful Gene and Roger have it trademarked, can’t escape royalties anywhere these days…)
On April 4th, 2013 legendary writer/journalist/critic/Chicagoan/film-nut Roger Ebert passed away quietly and peacefully. As the disheartening news trickled into the media ether, the true impact of the loss could start to be felt. In the coming days and weeks epitaphs, stories and accolades will be passed around by the people he helped inspired, warmly and graciously, about this most humble and deserving of a man. It would be an honor of great prestige to be one of the first to start that trend here.
I feel that this was the time to get back to writing. I haven’t written an article or review in months for »

5 Movies That Prove Stanley Kubrick Is The Greatest Director Ever
4 April 2013 3:05 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Stanley Kubrick is a filmmaker who could work in any genre he pleased and always produce a masterpiece. The man was incapable of making anything less than compelling, thanks to his famous tendencies as a director obsessed with perfectionism and his stunning eye for cinematography.
The way his stories use the full range of tools a filmmaker has at their disposal is un-paralled even to this day. Kubrick embraced cinema as a medium that could be warped in any way he desired, unlike any other form of art, with the use of music, light, dialogue, actors and composition.
His films have been dissected by film scholars and casual movie goers alike for years now and their is still no one general consensus as to what any of them mean. That speaks volumes to Kubrick’s brilliance by showing his complete mastery of the medium of cinema.

Attack of the Trilogies
2 April 2013 6:49 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
E. B. White once wrote, “Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.” Analyzing trilogies seems to the same. The entire point is to enjoy them. Still, given the many sins to be found in film, there are worse things than movie trilogies but few have become more prominent or unavoidable. In terms of definitions, a trilogy only means three “individual” (animated, live-action, etc.) films are tied together which leaves a lot of room in seeing something as a trilogy.
Currently, negative reviews over trilogies highlight how easily and predictably they start off well but soon degenerate at a rapid pace. Then, too, there cases where once was good enough and added treatments are not welcome. David Lynch’s Dune thankfully has not become a trilogy though it sits there waiting to be given birth. In rare cases, yes, a trilogy may be badly called for. »

'Room 237': All 47 Movies Used in the Documentary About 'The Shining'
28 March 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
"Room 237" is hardly your average documentary. Not only does it float some very out-there theories about what Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is really about, it illustrates those points with clips from both the 1980 horror classic and dozens of other movies. Every single shot in the film is from an existing flick, including ones from Kubrick, Hitchcock, and Spielberg, as well as classic horror movies and silent films. Moviefone sat down with director Rodney Ascher and producer Tim Kirk, who provided insight into some of their choices. In the same spirit of obsessiveness, we've compiled every movie featured in "Room 237," below “The Shining” "Lolita" "Spartacus" "Eyes Wide Shut" "Paths of Glory" "Barry Lyndon" "2001: A Space Odyssey" "The Killing" "Fear and Desire" "Killer's Kiss" "Dr. Strangelove" "A Clockwork Orange" “Full Metal Jacket" "Drums Along the Mohawk" "The Battle of Apache Pass" "The White Buffalo" "Sitting Bull at the »

Clip joint: films that feature yelling
28 March 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Modern recording gear means movie actors don't have to shout to be heard. So those moments when actors roar from the bottom of their lungs are to be treasured
This week's Clip joint is by Guardian reader Brogan Morris. If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, drop an email to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
Things have come a long way since fledgling recording technology meant film performances had to be big and bold. Movie actors were forced to give theatrical displays for the benefit of clunky, insensitive equipment, but today even the most basic camera and sound kit can pick up the subtlest actorly inflection. Screen thesps are thus not required to operate at a high volume – making a performer such as Nicolas Cage something of a rarity, and loud acting – beyond the stage or opera house – a dying art.

'Room 237' Filmmakers Rodney Ascher and Tim Kirk on Making a Movie About 'The Shining' (Exclusive)
27 March 2013 12:32 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
The documentary "Room 237" is not only a fascinating look at Stanley Kubrick's 1980 masterpiece "The Shining," but an examination of how we see and interpret movies and the often bizarre levels to which we obsess about them. The theories discussed in the film come from five people -- Bill Blakemore, Jay Weidner, Geoffrey Cocks, Juli Kearns, John Fell Ryan -- heavy thinkers and ordinary movie fans who try to prove that the movie is really about the massacre of Native Americans, the Holocaust, or a faked moon landing. Those all may sound ludicrous, but each "expert" has pored over the film for cryptic clues and coincidences that support their theories. After a while, they start to make some sense, especially when you hear that Kubrick had met with subliminal advertisers to learn their techniques before making the film.

50 Upcoming Movie Sequels (Yep, 50)
25 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are.
With that in mind, here's 50 of your favorite titles all preparing to get new installments. Some of them are deep into pre-production while others have barely gotten out of the pitch stages, but you'll be salivating at the thought of some of these sweet babies finally making their way to the screen.

• Kiefer Sutherland is in final talks to play the villain in Paul W.S. Anderson’s (Resident Evil) take on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Consider him the Billy Zane of Pompeii, the history-based disaster romance movie that somehow didn’t get made when Titanic and Pearl Harbor were reeling in the big bucks at the box office. Sutherland joins Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), and Jared Harris (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) in the film that began production in Toronto last week. [THR]

'Last Man Standing': Jonathan Taylor Thomas facilitates big changes with 'Home Improvement' reunion and 5 more things to expect
15 March 2013 1:47 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Jonathan Taylor Thomas is reuniting with his former on-screen dad Tim Allen for the season finale of "Last Man Standing," in which his character is the catalyst for some big changes around the Baxter house.
Here are six things to look forward to in "College Girl," which airs Friday, March 22 and is the show's season finale:
Kristin finds out her former diner co-worker Jon (Thomas) is now the owner of a swanky restaurant, which is the last straw in her feeling bad about her situation of making very little money and living at home. Jtt's appearance is marked by some great nods to "Home Improvement," including Tim Taylor's signature catch phrase. Will Kristin and Boyd move to notorious neighborhood Five Points because that's all she can afford on her diner salary? We aren't telling, but Mike and neighbor Chuck have some fun at Ryan's expense when he tells them she's considering it. »
